2019-20 Season Volunteer Opportunities

Our Program is completely run by volunteer. Each player's family is required to cover: 5 shifts including 2 in the concession. Other opportunities include time clock, score keeper, and penalty box. Team managers will track shifts & fill in those players' families who do not fill the shifts themselves. If you have multiple players in the program, you will have to work 10 shifts. Please do your share to help! These shifts DO NOT include the additional tournament and jamboree expectations.

If you feel that you need training in any of the volunteer opportunities please contact Naomi at 218-750-4509 or vaha.reg@gmail.com.
